Preventive Maintenance

The gripper contains:
• a double finger pad located to the front of the instrument
• a single finger pad to the back of the instrument
Framing the Gripper
WARNING
The gripper may bend if not taught (framed) properly with the AccuFrame.
The gripper is framed during installation by a Beckman Coulter Service Engineer. The framing
process for the gripper must be repeated when:
• A head is changed.
• Extraordinary circumstances occur, such as accidentally bending a gripper.
Should the gripper need to be framed, refer to Framing the Gripper.
Preventive Maintenance
The Multichannel Pod requires little preventive maintenance; however, to ensure optimum
operation, perform the following maintenance procedures as necessary.
WARNING
To prevent injury, use proper decontamination procedures.
• Wipe up all spills immediately.
• Return heads to their original packaging when they are not in use.
• Check connections periodically to make sure that all are secure (refer to Troubleshooting).
• Check and tighten head mount screws and gripper mount screws.
• Make sure that gripper shafts are straight and gripper pads are in good condition. Replace as
needed (refer to
Replacing Gripper Fingers).
